Features
Network AV Receiver
The Ethernet port on the RX-V671 adds a new level of functionality to an already accomplished AV receiver. By connecting the receiver to a router with Internet access, users can stream over 2,000 Internet radio stations from the vTuner website. Navigation is via the commonly used location, genre or via particular stations that have been bookmarked. The Ethernet port also provides the ability to stream music stored on a PC, Mac, laptop or NAS storage device. Simply set-up file sharing and begin playing music from these devices, with album artwork showing on the television.
Yamaha AV Control iPhone App
Yamaha’s AV Control App provides simple control of your home theatre. Available as a free download from the iTunes store, Yamaha’s AV Control App allows seamless operation of network capable Yamaha AV receivers or Blu-ray players from anywhere in or outside the home. Playing music stored on a PC is as simple as selecting the preferred content and pressing play from the App on an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. With Yamaha’s range of network receivers offering multi-zone operation, the ability to control music from anywhere in the home has arrived.
USB iPod Connection
Yamaha’s RX-V671 AV Receiver offers simple plug and play operation for an iPhone or iPod. Attach the white cable supplied with the iPod/iPhone to the USB input on the front of the receiver and navigate the music via the on-screen GUI using the receiver’s remote control. The iPod/iPhone will also conveniently charge while connected to the receiver.
3D Cinema DSP
Utilising front presence speakers (two speakers sitting on near the top corners of the television or projector) Yamaha’s 3D CINEMA DSP provides a 3-Dimensional sound field, adding depth and height to the overall soundstage. For movies, this provides precise overhead localisation of sound such as helicopters flying overhead, while for music sources, provides the feeling of being in a large auditorium rather than a small lounge room or theatre room.
High Quality Video Processing
While high definition content such as Blu-ray is readily available, there is still a great deal of standard definition content in many homes - particularly DVD movie collections. High-quality video processing is imperative to ensure DVD libraries look their best when displayed on a HD 1080p television or projector. The RX-V671 uses superior video processing technology, delivering standard definition content in high definition quality.
Zone 2 Operation
The RX-V671 incorporates Zone 2 technology making it capable of playing different audio in two separate rooms simultaneously. This means the kids could be watching a Blu-ray movie in the living room while you listen to music out on the deck, all controlled by the one receiver.
